A walk through the ground level of the Embarcadero Center will take you to an indoor pond surrounded by a wide, spiral ramp leading up four levels through shops, restaurants, and public seating areas.

If you're heading to the Ferry Building from anywhere near Market Street, take a detour. Zig-zag toward the Embarcadero Center and enter on Drumm Street between Sacramento and Clay. You will find a tropical scene with leafy plants and water to soothe your soul.

Stroll up to the top to the Sens Restaurant for lunch, or to sit amongst the flowers. Here you will see an entrance to the neighboring Hyatt Regency and a view of the skyline.
